• VMware vCenter service stops with size of DB SQL errors

  Hello

  We run VMware vCenter 4.1 with 3 ESX hosts and VMs. 50 vCenter runs on Windows 2008 R2, SQL 2005 Express SP2.

  Yesterday, our virtual backup failed, saying: it could not connect to the vCenter agent. When I have looged question, it appeared that he had stopped the vCenter Server service. Upward on the continuation of the investigation, it appears that the SQL Express database had reached 4 GB in size, which is limited, and this caused the vCenter fall service.

  I checked some of the forum posts and have accomplished the following:

  • Define a retention policy of database for tasks and events, it is initially unchecked, but I checked and set it to 90 days in the beginning and now 30 days.
    
  • Found a script on the VMware forum called VCDB_table_cleanup_MSSQL_V4.X.sql that can clean the database. I put it to delete the old data (change of SET @DELETE_DATA = 1) 90 days and he kidnapped 130 000 + lines.
    
  • Performed a narrowing of the database & file shrink on the data file - I was only 9 MB back?
    
  • Performed a narrowing of the database & file shrink on the log file - it right back a little more, about 100 MB.
    
  • Changed the size of the log file of 460 MB to 1024 MB, in database properties > settings files.
    

  However, even after all of the above, when I reboot the server, or stop and start the service vCenter, the following errors are recorded in the application log:
  -------------------------------------------

  Due to the size of the database, the query may take time. I suggest that you let run and just be patient.

  Another option is to upgrade to a version of SQL Server 2005/2008 'complete' (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/7960893), or - where this is an option for you - to migrate towards the currently experimentally supported (starting with vCenter Server 4.1 Update 1) version SQL Express 2008 which supports up to 10 GB per database. (see http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.pdf) Although there are 32 and 64 bit in compatibility matrix, it seems that there are currently problems with 64-bit (see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1036085)

• VMware vCenter Server service stops or restarts at the start of data collection

  VMware vCenter Server service stops or restarts at the start of data collection

  I am using vCenter Server 5.0

  Whenever I have begin to collect data, vcenter service stops or restarts, if I stop data collection and to disable the agent, vcenter service again and works well.

  Please any help!

  Thanks in advance

  It is a known issue, relating to the collection of historical data being enabled (nonzero) in the properties of the VMWare Agent on the Agent status screen.

  Change to 0 to disable/re-enable the agent and it should fix the problem.

  Please open a ticket of level 1 with telephone support if you need more help.

  While I can't give you a solution, I can share that I had a similar problem with an SRM installation.  Like yours, mine was a working facility which, for some strange reason, began to exhibit the same symptoms.  Start the service, in a second or two, stopped service.

  I opened a ticket with VMware on the issue and in more than three months of back and fourth Exchange with various Tech support I have ever received a satisfactory answer on what caused it.  The 'solution' they gave me was to remove the database SQL RS and re - install SRM.  This 'solution' has worked, but if this question comes up, I'll probably have to back unpleasant, emphasizing the fact that they solve the problem.

  I wish I could be more help, but that's it.  I feel your pain.

• VMware vCenter Server service stops after 1 hour

  I'm having a problem with my server vCenter 4.0. Less than an hour of a reboot, the VMware VirtualCenter Server service stops. If I restart it... It works for about an hour, then stops again. The following event is logged in the system event log. The VMware VirtualCenter Server service stopped with the error service special 2 (0x2).

  I'm SQL2005 Express is using a virtual machine, windows 2003 Std, 1vCPU, 4 Gb RAM Tomcat and SQL use a lot of memory.

  It is a similar problem to the responces you find on google - but not the same thing. My service will stop about an hour after a reboot clean and efficient.

  Ideas?

  I see that you have conveniently left a crucial part of the document...

  The part where is says this (pg 74).

  Base Group of 2005Express of Microsoft SQL Server that you can use for small deployments of virtual hosts up to 5 and 50 machines. If the machine has Microsoft SQL Native Client is installed, remove it before installing

     Right click on the database using VirtualCenter.

  3. Click on Properties.
  4. Click the Options link.
  5. Set the recovery model simple as follows:
     Click OK.

• VCenter Service does not start after changing the port number

  Hi all

  Accidentally, I changed the port number for the Vcenter server from the portal of VCenter 10443 and dint realize that the Java application uses 10443 so.

  Could not start the server vcenter service, because its raise an error saying 10443 port is already im currently byt used another application.

  I tried to stop the Java service, in order to start the vcenter service and make changes to port again, numbers but I am unable to stop the java application.

  Please, if anyone knows how to change the number of Vcenter via config port or any other way, please throw a comment... Its much appreciated.

  Thank you

  If you use the MSSQL database, locate WebService.Ports.http in the VPX_PARAMETER table and change to the correct port.

• Cannot start abruptly vCenter Service

  Hello

  We have vmWare vSphere Essentials running for a month and all of a sudden it has stopped working on 9/11.  When we try to start the service, a Windows message saying it cannot start the service.

  We bought a new server that meets the requirements of vCenter.  We have vCenter 4.1 running on Windows Server 2008 Standard R2.

  We made the most recent change has been that we have installed the SMTP server feature which required the IIS role must be installed.

  I found the files of huge logs under the "All Users" folder, but I don't know what I'm looking for.

  My first question is where can I find more information about the error and the second what could be the cause of this strange behavior change in vCenter?

  Thanks for any help you can provide,

  Michael

  We made the most recent change has been that we have installed the SMTP server feature which required the IIS role must be installed.

  It is more than likely your problem that IIS will conflict with vCenter. You must stop IIS and your vCenter service can be started successfully

• Detection of InsightCM Server service stopped

  Hello.

  Is it possible to get some kind of alarm or notification, if the InsightCM Server service stopped running on the server? It is not something I've experienced, but I just got the issue with the customer, so that I am currently working.

  Thank you.

  Hi Jens,

  Unfortunately, there is not a built-in way to be alerted if the service of InsightCM crashes. However, you can use the built in tools of Windows services to run a program if the service crashes. You can set the action in Windows Services by right-clicking on the InsightCM service and selecting Properties and then accessing the Recovery tab. You can then this pointer to any generic EXE. This program, for example, could send users to inform them of the accident.

  

  Let us know if you have any other questions!

• Exchange Server 2003 Exchange Services stopped working.

  Hello!

  I have a Windows SBS (2003), which is my domain controller and Exchange Server (2003) is installed. Arrived on site this morning only to discover that Outlook was not opening. Check the Small Business Server and it was running. However, most of the Exchange Services stopped running:

  

  I tried to restart the services, but they kept not. I even rebooted a couple of times in hopes that I get lucky but luck was not on my side. Here is the error message and the system logs, I got the failure:

  When I tried to start the STMP service, it is to get the error message: failed to start the service SMTP Simple Mail Transfer Protocol () on the Local computer. Error 126: The specified module could not be found.

  I have TrendMicro Worry Free Business installed on the server but I also exclusion of files/folders to the Exchange folders / file (s). At this setting for a few years and nothing has changed. No update or something has been done since the last time it was running.
